New Chicago Cubs mascot and the 25 best mascots in pro sports

This week, the Chicago Cubs announced the first official mascot in their modern history.

Clark, a "young friendly Cub," wears a backward baseball cap and Cubs jersey, along with blue sneakers. Clark will meet Chicago fans as they enter Wrigley Field in 2014.

The Cubs have been without an official mascot for most of its 138-year history, but Clark will join new additions and improvements to the franchise, including a $300 million renovation to Wrigley Field.

Clark was named after the Clark and Addison intersection where Wrigley Field is located. Clark was introduced to fans during a charity appearance Monday night. Cubs officials say Clark's great-grandfather Joa was the franchise's original live bear mascot in 1916.
